Angelina Jolie doesn't want anyone naming their product after her natural born child.
Symine Salipour, owner of a jewelery design and fragrance company, Hors Lá Monde Corp., plans to name her latest fragrance 'Shiloh'.
Salimpour applied to trademark the name 'Shiloh' last June. Since then, Jolie's attorney has received two 90-day extensions to prepare a case opposing Hors Lá Monde's use of the name, and Jolie has contacted the US Patent and Trademark Office.
A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "The name is completely unrelated. Symine is a citizen of both France and Israel, but she identifies strongly with her Israeli roots — it's a spiritual thing for her. Shiloh is a Hebrew name that means 'his gift'.
New York trademark attorney Thomas M. Wilentz said, "The notice of opposition alleges that you will be damaged by the pending trademark. Angelina must feel that people applying for 'Shiloh' need to get her consent."
The fragrance has reportedly been in development in France for two years.
Representatives for both Jolie and Salimpour refused to comment.
